Du Bois and his rivals

"W. E.B. Du Bois was the preeminent black scholar of his era. He was also a principal founder and for twenty-eight years an executive officer of the nation's most effective civil rights organization, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Even though Du Bois was best known for his lifelong stance against racial oppression, he represented much more. He condemned the racism of the white world but also criticized African Americans for mistakes of their own. He opposed segregation but had reservations about integration. Today he would be known as a pluralist." "In Du Bois and His Rivals, Raymond Wolters provides a distinctive biography of this great pioneer of the American civil rights movement. Readers are able to follow the outline of Du Bois's life, but the book's main emphasis is on discrete scenes in his life, especially the controversies that pitted Du Bois against his principal black rivals. He challenged Booker T. Washington because he could not abide Washington's conciliatory approach toward powerful whites. At the same time, Du Bois's pluralism led him to oppose the leading separatists and integrationists of his day. He berated Marcus Garvey for giving up on America and urging blacks to pursue a separate destiny. He also rejected Walter White's insistence that integration was the best way to promote the advancement of black people."--Jacket.再讀一些...

出版商概要

"This is an excellent work.... The narrative flows smoothly, and it is free of pedantic language. Biographical materials, events, and conflicts are cogently written and readily understandable. These are characteristics that will also make this book attractive to students and scholars who are interested in an up-to-date treatment of W. E. B. Du Bois's career as a civil rights leader.... Were I still in the classroom, the present book would certainly appear on my course reading list." - ARVARH E. STRICKLAND再讀一些...
